The art is rich and stunning. The brothers seemed to work together seamlessly and art conservationists dig deep to compare, contrast, and attribute aspects of the works to each brother. One seemed to work better on copper, another got the details of hair and faces, another was detailed in clothing and background.
This is a fascinating exhibit and brings to life seventeenth century France.
Hi Joanne - what a great exhibition to be able to see - fascinating to read about the three brothers ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Talented and almost unknown
DeleteThanks for such an interesting post Joanne.
ReplyDeleteI've learned something today reading this. Thank you.
Yvonne.
Glad to expand a friday
DeleteHow neat to feature an art exhibit from many years back. Sounds fascinating!
ReplyDeletebetty
The richness of their work was amazing
DeleteTogether they sure got it done. Each having talents and making something better using them sure is the way.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a terrific exhibit! (Says the gal who's never met a museum exhibit she didn't love...)
ReplyDeleteThey look like the Three Musketeers. :)
Have a super weekend! Stay cool.
Yep. They had to get along or back then , swordfights settled arguments
DeleteI would love to see this too. I wonder if any of their stuff is in the Louvre? Not that I remember much of my one and only time there in 1982.
ReplyDeleteProbably. We are lucky the Kimbell got this exhibit
DeleteIt's always so amazing to see creations from that long ago. I tend to wonder what their lives must have been like while painting.
ReplyDeleteSounded like they lived "well" back in this time. They painted church frescoes and we know the church had money!
DeleteThat looks like a very interesting exhibit. I haven't heard of them before. Did they combine their talents and work on one piece together or did they do individual pieces? I'd love to see it!
ReplyDeleteIt was a variety. Scholars are still studying the works. They can attribute some pieces directly to each brother. Others are group efforts
DeleteHow fascinating. I never heard of them but just googled them and found a bunch of interesting sites. Thanks for the introduction!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to help. I thank the Kimbell for bringing works to the forefront
DeleteVery impressive! The only thing my brothers and I do is drink beer.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you burp in unison
